I guess you need to see a doctor to be sure (just don't hurt yourself!) -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.

My surgeries were approx a 12" vertical cut just above the pubic bone and a few inches past my belly button. I also have 2 6 inch smaller horizontal cuts. So , ya might check with a doctor, but in my experience , I have had no problems what so ever. Good luck =)
